Forbid committing to default branch

Why?

1. setup protected branch on main
2. commit and push some stuff
3. get rejected because you committed on main then tried to push it
4. need a way to both block commit on local and remote default branch

How to install

1. set hooks path

HOOKPATH=~/hooks
git config --global core.hooksPath $HOOKPATH

2. copy content to re-commit hook

mkdir -p $HOOKDIR
(copy pre-commit content to $HOOKPATH/pre-commit)
